Three themes are drawn together in this book: gender and sexuality, the organisation of work, and the impact of technological change. Their inter-relationship is explored in six area studies: manufacturing, banking, retailing, computing, nursing and housework.
Gender at Work presents an account of how each area has changed since the Second World War; sets out ways in which the notion of what constitutes 'proper' work for men and women changes with new work processes; and analyses the prospects for, and limits of, sexual 'equality' in the workplace. Based on the first-hand observations of workers, reflecting on their work experience, this book allows workers to speak for themselves: they reveal the centrality of gender to the way capitalism is organised.Languages:EnglishPublisher:RoutledgeISBN-13:9780868612614ISBN-10:0868612618UPC:9780868612614Book Category:Social Science, Political Science, EducationBook Subcategory:Media Studies, Labor & Industrial Relations, Multicultural EducationSize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.34 inchesWeight:0.191Product ID:SCRA9EAZNK
